Some great big clouds were coming in over my home in Sortland in Vesterålen, Northern Norway. About half an hour later, a great rain came in.... Well, this is why we love to live up here: one hour sunshine, the next rain/snow... But the clouds of this kind are great to watch. Take a look...
For those who like the offbeat over the tried and true, three one-of-a-kind events on national wildlife refuges could be worth a special trip this spring.
Take the Montezuma Refuge Challenge!
Mouthwatering smells, crispy crackling food cooking, small stools (or no chairs), handmade crafts, clothing, textiles, insects on sticks, metalwork, teddy bears, raw meat, ripe vegetables, colorful flowers, a world of cheese…where are you? At any of the street markets I’ve gathered for you here.
Celebrating Easter outside at Gullholm, in Troms, Norway. These images were taken at daytime april 20. It was the only day at Eastertime with no rain and wind... Our landscape in northern part of Norway is great on these sunny days.
Florida Culture for the Week of April 21 By Josh Garrick
This month we travel through the lens of Emily Adamson all the way to New Zealand. In the course of her profession, she travels to some breathtaking scenes around Queenstown, and beyond, while working with many couples and individuals. She fuses hard technical skill and years of experience with her artistic eye and vision to capture truly wonderfilled moments.
When I travel, I love to visit museums, architectural edifices (Gaudi), and archeological sites such as Petra. But popular restaurants at a destination are not high on my list of must-try travel experiences.
It's that time of year again here in West Virginia, the time when the flora starts to sprout new life and the forest floors explode with color. Spring Time!
Homemade wooden kites, hot cross buns, fish cakes, and pink sandy beaches; these are the images called to mind when envisioning Good Friday celebrations on the island of Bermuda. A conservative island by nature, Good Friday traditions live on here. School children spend weeks constructing their kites; the more traditional, the better.
One of the truisms in education, all around the world, is that educators will have students of differing abilities in their classroom. And it is often the most efficient use of a teacher’s time to teach to the lowest common denominator in order to reach everyone. I was an oft-neglected high-ability learner, bored with school, yet eager to learn as much as I could. Self-directed learning wasn’t really discussed, critical thinking skills came along in college (oh, what I could have done with learning that years earlier!), and I often wished I could learn more, more, more each day.
